Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia and Herzegovina’s food is built around ottoman-rooted grills, coiled phyllo pies and slow stews, finished with syrupy sweets and strong coffee. Look for Ćevapi (grilled minced-meat rolls in somun flatbread with raw onion), Burek (coiled hand-stretched phyllo filled with minced meat) and Bosanski lonac (layered meat and vegetable pot simmered for hours). Grilled minced-meat fingers of Ottoman origin; the Sarajevo version is served in tens inside a somun with chopped onion and kajmak.
